Being alone

Being alone never felt right.

Sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.

~Charles Bukowski

Toxic to yourself

 7 signs you are 

toxic to yourself

1. You apologize a lot, even when the fault is not yours.
2. You keep hanging out with people who treat you badly.
3. You keep checking your phone for messages when there are none.
4. You take criticism too personally.
5. You keep comparing yourself with others.
6. You sleep a lot to avoid life.
7. You agree with other people's opinion even when you have a different one.

Strongest

 The strongest man you know is a first born daughter.

Broken home

I hate when people refer to single parents

having a "broken home"

It's not.

You know what is a broken home. Having

a house full of people who shouldn't be

together and bleed that toxic energy into

their kids.

THAT is a broken home.

Queen

The girl you once were, heal for her.

The woman you are now, protect her.

The queen you were created to be, fight for her.

~Morgan Richard Olivier

Grown

This older lady just said to me you date at the level of your own self esteem and maturity.

No grown woman tolerates games and no grown man plays them. WOW

Not willing to fix

Most men are not running away from a great woman.

They are running away from parts of themselves they are not willing to fix to deserve her.

You decide

 Posted by Dave Ramsey

You get to decide what you tolerate in your life.

My friend Dr. Henry Cloud wrote an excellent book on this topic called Necessary Endings. When is it necessary to end a job? A business? A relationship? It's when there's no hope in your mind that things are going to get better.

Top tier

A man who updates you because he knows how you overthink

while waiting for him is a top tier and green flag energy.

Let it starve

 I've learned that

the best way to end

something is to

let it starve. No response,

no action, no altercations,

just don't feed it.

That's where the true

power lies.

Strong man

Only a strong man can handle a strong woman.

A weak man will say she has attitude and unrealistic expectations.

Most women

Most women want

a man who's already successful.

But a strong woman will be part

of his struggle, survive it, succeed

together, and build an empire.

Two broken people

You tried manipulating me

While I tried healing you.

It's funny

Is it not?

How two broken people

Abuse differently;

One toward others 

And the other against themselves.
